In most Erie County municipalities, the seller’s representative handles ordering, obtaining and paying the final water bill. Our responsibility as your title company is to be sure this is paid as part of the transaction, since an unpaid water bill creates a lien on the property. At the time of closing, we will discuss the specific process for your transaction.
